The Resurgence Greek Project

Free

Look no further if you need only to scan the Greek text, double-check parsing, or look up a quick definition. Zack Hubert's program has only recently been linked up with Mark Driscoll's Resurgence movement, and exposes this Internet-only resource to church planters and lay leaders who might not otherwise have the time to learn the biblical languages.

Logos Bible Software 3

$629.95 for Scholar's Library

This standard package puts an entire library at your fingertips. The passage and exegetical guides employ a host of resources to dissect Bible verses and help you discern the meaning of original-language texts. Charts and graphs help visual learners. Entire commentary sets can be added for additional cost. (More at Logos.com/scholars)

BibleWorks 7

$349

The popular BibleWorks program focuses more tightly on powerful exegesis tools. New to this version, a three-window interface fills the computer screen with a bounty of information. Sentence diagrams for the Greek New Testament will help advanced users visualize an author's inspired intent. (More at BibleWorks.com)

Zondervan's Greek & Hebrew Library 6.0

$149.99

If you want digital access to many indispensable Zondervan resources, you'll want to stick with this software. This publisher has not made some resources available to Logos and Bibleworks. This library doesn't boast all the powerful tools featured in other programs, but that makes it easier to master in less time. (More at Zondervan.com/software)

Accordance

$249 for Scholar's Collection

Mac users swear by this program, available for Windows only with an emulator. Accordance runs quickly and presents a clear interface. Offered for separate purchase, customizable 3-D Bible maps take you into Scripture's stories. (More at AccordanceBible.com)
